1997 Map of Birmingham North

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Industrial infrastructure and dense urban neighborhoods define this northern Birmingham landscape, where the heavy rail operations of the East Thomas Yards and a notable Strip Mine north of Coalburg reveal the city's 20th-century economic foundations. The map provides a detailed view of the social fabric through its numerous educational and religious institutions, ranging from the historic St Pauls Cathedral downtown to the hilltop campus of Birmingham Southern College. Neighborhoods like Pratt City, Inglenook, and Sayreton are mapped in detail alongside significant landmarks such as the storied Rickwood Field and the sprawling Birmingham Municipal Airport on the eastern edge. This record illustrates the transition from the rugged mining terrain of Lassie Mountain to the organized street grids of Tarrant and North Birmingham, showing the city's growth just before the turn of the millennium.
